Big chip, more surface area, less thermal density. I suspect it'll work at a decent noise level.
Big chip, more surface area, less thermal density. I suspect it'll work at a decent noise level.I have to wonder. Given that dual tower 140mm CPU heatsink fans like the D15 are rated for 300W, how does the fin area of the D15 compare to the 5090’s total fin area, which is supposed to dissipate 600W? The 4090’s fans were 116mm in diameter. I’m now curious how loud it will be…
Sometimes things just go kinda wrong.Are the tools failing at higher GHz?
pretty unrefined cope.Silicon process has gotten too expensive to simply throw more transistors at the problem. The only exception is for the price is no object 090 series buyers.
yeah that's the thing.A) New architecture: There is none that impacts gaming rasterization. Only the RT/AI side has any kind of significant update.
It's not.It's the same underlying design on the same process
It's specifically a streamlined SM design (especially for SMSP schedulers and operand forwarding network parts of it), which, you know, it supposed to give you moar frequency.Significantly higher clocks weren't going to happen.
what is RDNA4 then.and nothing else can have much impact on the exact same process with the same underlying gaming architecture.
AMD uses same TSMC as Nvidia, it's not the same situationIt kind of feels like how Intel suddenly died
Wrong.This is how Nvidia dies
I don't think so.This is how Nvidia dies. It kind of feels like how Intel suddenly died. Everyone was so used to the idea of automatic improvements tied to shrinkage, that when Intel decided to stagnate the market with 4 faster cores vs 6 slower, more expensive cores, forcing gamers to make the impossible choice, that an entire generation of gamers were traumatized by that, and I'm glad intel is dead now, I feel better and they deserve their fate even now, more than the commas I gave them for free.

No that's cope.They could have put 5080 on a bigger die, to at least achieve 4090 performance, but this makes them more money.
No. Nvidia supplied a reference PCB layout. It is not the same as the FE.Is the pcb of the FE available to aib's?
For half the price you can get the same design and half the chip too.Honestly the overall design of the FE 5090 really makes me want to buy it, but then I really don't want to encourage that kind of pricing!
Is the 5080 using the same flow through vapour chamber cooler? I've not had an Nvidia card in ages, I'm tempted tbh.For half the price you can get the same design and half the chip too.
It hasn't been confirmed by disassembly but they look the same. And Nvidia did reuse the RTX 4090 cooler for the 4080 as well.Is the 5080 using the same flow through vapour chamber cooler? I've not had an Nvidia card in ages, I'm tempted tbh.
If it's like the 4090 and 3090, the FE will be one of the hardest to find because it's Best Buy only. I like the FE design but it often costs as much on ebay/craigslist/etc. as the flagship cards with AIO loops, which are better if you're spending that much anyway.I love that tiny main PCB of the FE. Be interesting to see what design Nvidia partners use.
I'm very interested to see some detailed looks into how well the cooling system works. If it cools this (nearly) 600w card hopefully it'll be used in future, more mainstream, cards.

Hopefully they'll use it on the rest of the line up for subsequent series (and AMD copies them) assuming that it works well!It hasn't been confirmed by disassembly but they look the same. And Nvidia did reuse the RTX 4090 cooler for the 4080 as well.
Apparently Nvidia sells them through Scan in the UK.I don't know how it is in Wales but in the US availability of FE cards has been scarce.
800W babyAlleged GeForce RTX 5090 prototype with 24576 cores, 800W power and 32GB 32Gbps memory has been pictured
I have to admit that I use OCCT for exactly this reason sometimes!After how cold it was this weekend I could use an 800W space heater. If it can play some computer games while I'm huddling under the blankets all the better.
